Fitz on the Madden cover?

Fitz on the Madden cover?

Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald might be on the cover of EA's Madden NFL 10, according to a league source, and he might not be alone. Steelers safety Troy Polamalu might appear with him.

It makes sense. The Cardinals and Steelers played in Super XLIII last February. They open the preseason against each other on Thursday night, Aug. 13, the day before the game comes out.

EA will reveal its cover on April 24, the day before draft weekend. .

Fitzgerald's potential appearance on the cover isn't good news for Cardinals fans who believe in a Madden curse. Several players who have appeared on the cover, including Michael Vick, Shaun Alexander and Donovan McNabb, suffered injuries the following season.

[JuSt CuZ]

[PitbullTD]

/EDIT edited to add, only if in a redraft league. But i guess you wouldnt be selling. Im drunk.

I thought it would be Peterson for sure. He's the "cool" player all the kids like right now.

Boldin will be WR#1 for sure once Fitz goes down in Week 3 from "The Madden Curse"

Madden curse + the superbowl loser curse? ouch.

Fitz just dropped out of the Top 15 WRs drafted by anyone who knows anything about FF. This is terrible news.

<sarcasm>

Yeah, but they're breaking the curse by having two players on the cover

</sarcasm>

... or at least they're mitigating the risk by spreading it across two players. Maybe each will miss only 8 games?

Anyone who knows anything understands that the Madden game has ZERO bearing on anything. Players return to the mean, because thats how it works.It used to be the Sports Illustrated jinx for 20 years, but it was all bullcrap. Just like this.

If Fitz has an off year, gets hurt, or Arizona stumbles or the QBs suck.. thats just what happens every time you are on the cover of Madden.

Nothing happened to Favre last year...

This blows.

My offseason so far...Cutler traded to Da' Bears, MJD possible holdout, and now Fitz the cover boy will be on the shelf in week 1.

I hate fantasy football offseasons!

Oh really.... The biggest meltdown in JETS history... Favre had something to do with that.

Meltdowns are nothing new for the Jets. Why are we pinning this particular one on Favre being on the cover?

Let it die. Favre broke that curse last year unless making the pro bowl is part of the curse,

This curse is getting scarier by the minute. How many games would the Jets have won without Favre?

He came back to the Jets

Last years curse was on the Packers, not Favre, as he didn't play in a Packers jersey as featured on the cover. The Packers went from NFC Championship Game to drafting 9th this year, despite no real "drop off" at the QB spot.

 

[Frank Black]

I guess for those die hard curse believers, nothing short of a career year when being on the cover will satisfy them.

I'm just analyzing the results, man, don't shoot the messenger.

 

[FFCardsFan]

lol, this is dumb.

 

[jojoh07]

OUCH , just dropped fitz off my team.

Even a career year won't change anything; Eddie George had the best season of his career and his only All-Pro when he was on the cover. People are stupid.
